1.) Our last several snows have consisted of the light, fluffy snow that is easy to brush off and like shoveling feathers.
2.) My extended forecast includes a high temperature ABOVE freezing! Beach day.
3.) After several rounds of phone tag, my brother and I finally got a chance to talk today. The primary topic? Geneology.
4.) One of my friends is making me a delicious dinner tomorrow night. I’m not exactly sure what it is going to be, but promised that I won’t be allergic or intolerant to anything.
5.) The beer I liked best at beer school hits the shelves at my grocery store tomorrow. Can’t wait. I’ll tell you more about it after I get a chance to buy some.

With the aid of the internet, I taught myself how to make homemade bread tonight. The only trick involved convincing my dough to rise, as it turns out that “green”* decisions about heat are not conducive to dough rising. Apparently yeast isn’t a big fan of 63. We compromised: I stuck a towel in the dryer and wrapped my bowl up in it, and then placed the bundled bowl near a space heater. It rose beautifully and baked up deliciously.
